Thinking about hiring a DJ for your companies holiday party? Now is the best time to secure dates while they are still available! Remember that Saturday’s are always the most sought after so act quickly to guarantee you have entertainment

Important read on how to avoid wedding debt. Newsflash: stay out of debt by saving up in advance. Wedding debt is considered bad debt because it forces you to pay for the past rather than invest in the future. Sound familiar?

Some great advice here, including: plan your wedding in the off-season (October to March) and choose any day but Saturday. Time of day matters too… Hint: dinner weddings are not as cheap as lunch.

Of course, with Great Rate DJs, you will always save money on the music and still get a professional DJ.

Another satisfied customer just wrote, “Just wanted to tell you thank you for helping us have a great time last night at Portland City Grill. All of our guests had a great time on the dance floor dancing the night away. You helped my husband have the 40th birthday party of his dreams. Thanks again, you guys were great.”

These comments came from Janelle who hired DJ Smuve for her husbands 40th birthday party that took place at the Portland City Grill on 11/12/2010

Jan Rauker hired Great Rate DJs in late September for her 60th birthday party and had to say the following about her DJ.

“I got rave reviews from my guests–everyone really enjoyed the music and Thomas.”

Thomas Arnot has been with Great Rate DJs for a while now and people always love the music and service he provides. For affordable entertainment that you can feel good about, tell your friends and family about Great Rate DJs!

A lot of people think that all DJs are the same but if that’s the case, will all DJs have the amount of equipment and type of music you need? For example some people need sound indoors and outdoors. Some people need sound in multiple rooms and/or multiple levels. Some people need a DJ with wireless microphones. Others may want lighting effects while others want a DJ with karaoke and/or a combination of all the above.

When shopping for DJs, make sure they are asking you specifics about your party instead of trying to get you to sign on the dotted line first. Without learning more about your needs, how will either of you know if you are a good fit for each other? Remember, the more equipment a DJ provides, the more it will cost and the longer it will take to set up and tear down.

November is the slowest time of the year for most DJs. Weddings and homecomings are starting to wrap up and the Holiday parties haven’t kicked in yet. If you ever thought about hiring a DJ for your private party, the month of November is the best time of the year to do it! DJs want to stay busy even if it means offering a discount on their services. Call today or check out our web site for a free, no-obligation quote!
